Discussion: The Thibaults

Author: Roger Martin du Gard

Description: The Thibaults by Roger Martin du Gard is an eight-part novel cycle, published between 1922 and 1940, chronicling the lives of two brothers, Antoine and Jacques Thibault, from their prosperous Catholic bourgeois upbringing in Paris around 1904 to the end of World War I. The series, often compared to Tolstoy’s War and Peace for its scope and to Flaubert for its realist style, explores family dynamics, social issues, and personal development against the backdrop of early 20th-century Europe.
